Welcome to this year’s Mock Simulation Series! Each week, I will run a simulation of the 2025 NFL draft using the Pro Football Focus Draft Simulator.
Round 1, Pick 32 (for the Super Bowl Winner): Luther Burden III, Wide Receiver, Missouri
Spending a first round pick on WR3 is undoubtedly a questionable use of resources but… hear me out.
One… WR3 is a massive hole in the Eagles offense. Two… the Eagles are likely losing Dallas Goedert this offseason and will need to replace his target share. Three… having a high caliber wide receiver on a rookie contract can give the team a lot of needed flexibility down the line.
